1.How do you get the latest news?

以How开头的问题的回答包含两个层面。一，是什么、怎么样。二，为什么。要求答题者不仅列出得到信息的方式，更要阐明使用这种方式的意义和作用。考官问及如何得到信息，即意图了解考生获取信息的渠道有哪些，以及为什么依赖这些渠道获取信息。

Candidate 1: In this modern society, there are many ways to get the latest news and my list is as follows:

The newspaper was, is and will be a very important way to get the latest information. You can know what has been happening both home and abroad with the help of it.

TV is another very important and convenient source. Compared with newspapers, TV can give you vivid information instead of wasting much time on printing, and you can get the latest news directly.

With the development of science and technology, we can enjoy the convenience of the Internet which is playing an increasingly important role in our modern life. You can get whatever you want by just clicking your mouse and there will be hundreds of pieces of related information appearing before your eyes.

At the same time, there are still many other traditional ways to get the news, for instance, from the radio and people around us.

It is lucky for us to live in this modern society where we can get to know the latest news quickly and accurancy with so many sources of information. We should value them.

Candidate 1思路清晰，第一段首先指出有许多种得到信息的方式，然后分段论述了报纸、电视和网络三种途径。Candidate 1在文章的结尾处又点明了我们生活在这个信息量巨大的社会是幸运的，我们应该珍视这些有利的途径。

Candidate 2: I usually get the latest news from the newspaper, because it is always one of the best ways to get news as far as I'm concerned. But rather than buy it every day, I just buy it when I really have time to read. So if I have many courses someday, I will give it up. Of course, there are many other ways to get the news, such as from friends or the Internet. And in my opinion, getting news from the Internet is really convenient and efficient. You can get the news with less time and without any cost.

Candidate 2的回答开门见山、简明扼要。开头即点明自己主要从报纸获取信息，然后又指出了其他的方式，最后说明自己认为网络是最方便、最有效的获取信息的方式。作者观点鲜明，用词准确。如as far as I am concerned，指出newspaper为one of the best ways to get news。Of course表明承认还有其他的信息来源。最后，指出in my opinion，从网络获取信息是方便（convenient）和有效的（efficient）。

2. Which websites do you often visit on the Internet?

以Which开头的问题的回答和以How开头的问题的回答一样也包括两个层面。一，是什么、怎么样。二，为什么。要求答题者不仅指出常访问的网站，还要描述这个网站的内容，更重要的是说明为什么访问这个网站即访问这个网站的有力方面。建议考生一定要列举常去的网站，可以列举一些和英语学习有关的网站，这样比较好阐述。

Candidate 1: Among many famous websites, I visit "Sina" most. There are many reasons why I prefer "Sina". Firstly, it is a famous Chinese website, which is popular with most Chinese. And then, it has an outstanding speed and high efficiency, which is superior to(比……更好的，较大的) other websites. Thirdly, it releases a variety of information, ranging from international events, social issues, sports, charaters portraits(画像，描写，写照) to entertainments. Furthermore, it provides people with not only updates news but also relatively comprehensive searching services. Last but not least, you can get different opinions from all walks of life(各行各业) by checking the Internet poll results on the website. So I like "Sina" best.

回答脉络清晰、层层递进，用了很多关联词，把新浪网站的各个方面的特点描述得淋漓尽致。美中不足的是，Candidate 1没有把新浪网站独特的特点列举出来，而是一般网站的共性。其实应该好好探讨其个性，但是鉴于Candidate 1思路清晰、语言流畅，也会得比较高的分数。

Candidate 2: "Listeningexpress.com" is my favorite website, which includes varieties of complete, new and fast teaching and learning materials. Through the teacher's introduction, I know this website. It has different sections about teaching and learning English in university. The purpose of it is to improve the skills of teaching and the abilities of learning. Particularly, it prepares lots of things for techers and students. At the same time, it has plenty of beautiul pictures and interesting articles in it. Besides, I can get much more information about English.

"Listeningexpress.com" is very popular with teachers and students. You can practice your English on this website. I do love it. I believe it will be very helpful to people who want to learn about English.

Candidate 2最喜欢的网站是一个英文学习网站，这可以是真实的，也可以是说话者虚构的。然而这样回答就可以和英语学习联系起来，所有关于英语学习的内容就可以应用于这道题目。Candidate 2首先引入了认识听力快车这个英语学习网站的途径，然后指出它颇受大家欢迎。但是回答如果再有一点深度就好了，应该详细地介绍下听力快车网站的内容，让大家知道它的确是一个非常有益于英语学习的网站。
